How to Import Olive Oil from Tunisia: A Complete B2B Sourcing Guide
Tunisia stands as one of the world's leading producers and the foremost exporter of organic olive oil globally. For international importers, distributors, restaurant chains, and food manufacturers, sourcing Tunisian extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) represents an outstanding strategic advantage in terms of cost-efficiency, chemical purity, and high polyphenol content.
### 1. Understanding Bulk vs Bottled Sourcing
International buyers can choose between two main supply models on ZinToop:
- **Bulk Shipments (Vrac)**: Loaded in 24,000-liter Flexitanks, 1,000-liter IBC containers, or 200L food-grade drums from the major commercial ports of Sfax, Rades, or Sousse.
- **Bottled & Private Label**: Fully packaged in dark glass bottles (Marasca, Dorica) or metallic tins under your custom brand with international barcode compliance.
### 2. Export Compliance and ONH Inspection
Every export batch from Tunisia undergoes strict chemical and organoleptic analysis conducted by accredited laboratories under the supervision of the National Oil Board (Office National de l'Huile - ONH). Required export documentation includes:
- Official Certificate of Analysis (Acidity, Peroxide value, K232/K270 coefficients).
- Certificate of Origin & EUR.1 Movement Certificate (for tariff preferences).
- Phytosanitary and health certificates issued by the Ministry of Agriculture.
